[incongruous.

Paul Plunlu-'t is dashing and debon ■ jr aB the adventurer, Pedro. Robert Ifircig gives r clever character sketch las .Alfonse, tin. head waiter at Covent (garden, and manages to infuse quite a L of genuine humor into it. Chris,

male characters.

Dorothy Brunton fs charming and

[dainty as June, Dudley Mitten's be ItrofJied. She has shed much of the ■ataginess, recently noticeable, with

[much advantage to the artistry of her Iworlt. The simple, pleasing methods jalie employs as June, and the toning (down of gesturing are big steps in the right direction, from the artistic point

(of view.

Daisy Yates' piquant, artistic and

[finished work as Beatrice Carraway [comes as rather a surprise. It is the [first time she has been seen in a role [(hat gives her any real opportunity, [and it would appear that a good "find" [has hidden under the cloak of a mere [dancer. She not only looks the part, [but she acts it in a quiet yet con vincing way, and sings pleasingly. [Marie Eaton is dashing as Daisy de [Menthe, of the Piccadilly Theatre.

As Victoria the maid, pure London, I but who cultivates a French accent

[to give tone to the _ establishment, [Connie Ediss is excellent. She brings [out every trace of humor with .an air [of drollery which is very effective. [Ethel Morrison is decidedly good as [the austere and narrow Mrs. Lovitt [Lovitt, who keeps an eagle eye upon flier spouse. *

There are a number - of society

There are many good songs and con

jcerled numbers, among,which Dorothy [Brunton has several attractive num bers, such as "Hold Me in Your Loving [Arms," sung with a male' chorus; ["Please Don't Flirt with Me," a duet [with Paul Plunlcett; "Monteroy," a [haunting thing; "Boots and Shoes," a [comedy duet with Field Fisher, and

the inevitable patriotic number, "Aus tralia, I Love You," sung with much feeling. "Too Particular," in which Daisy Yates, 0. H. Workman and Fred Maguire take part, is good, as is "It's the Only Way," sung by Alfred Frith

1 chorus. "Come to the Ragtime II," by Marie Eaton and chorus is ™ver' Dut the hit of the piece is Billy Hughes," sung by Connie Ediss.' There are several specialty dances, as de L'An.our, by Wyonne Haybittle nd Arthur Cing, which introduces classic toe .lancing gracefully and cleverly doiu. and then a story told in nance measure, in which the two take part. Wyoijue Haybittle is a petite ®a graceful dancer, and Arthur King 16 graceful and agile. A dance of ®ore modern type by Daisy and Syd ney Yates another big feature of

ne second act which wins much favor.
